no but you can read one of the many stickied guides, i charge for hand holding

simplest way , edit build.prop file , change that 2.3.6 or 2.3.7 or whatever you see , to 4.0.3 , you are now on 4.0.3 ,

What my fellow smart asses are trying to say is: don't worry, you are at the right place. Everything you need to find out about your phone is located here in this forum, but you need to do some reading in order to find it. What you are concerned with can be located in "stickies"- the threads at top of the forums which are indicated by the thumbtacks at the far left of the thread. Don't be discouraged by all the threads. What you are concerned with are only the stickies. It is in your best interest to devote the time to read through the first page of these stickies BC 1. You don't want to permanently damage your very expensive phone and 2. You will be amazed by what this little device can do once you've done a little homework.

Need Help - noob tech

hey guys
i want some answers for following questions
1.How to overclock my nexus S and which is stable one?
2.Which is best rom ( i want performance i dont care about UI bcz i will use golauncher so i dont have any problem on UI)
3.If i want can i go back to default rom if i want stock android rom? and also can i make it get warrenty back?
4.How to install custom rom ( step by step for noobs)
5.Tricks and tips related to android
i dont know anything related to custom rom ,flashing , overclocking , kernel etc plz help
Why don't you go over to the FAQ thread? Lot of your questions are answered there.
You say you are a "noob". Then get yourself educated! The information is around, you need just to read it. Even the step by step guides are there. If you are too lazy to even read the stuff that is directly under your nose, then maybe you should get a standard low cost feature phone instead.
Of course you could also get the xda premium membership, where for only 5000$ a month you will get a personal 24/7 support team of experienced professionals taking care of your every wish.
dude i m not that much retarded
i already read lots of threads but there is no thread which tells about weather we can get back to old or not
yes if u cant help then who asked u to post here?
i requested it to people who want to help
plz help if u can or plz stay away
thanks
People might help you if you ask nicely and show that you did your homework. They might even do so happily. For your questions:
1. This question is asked about once a week. There are answers.
2. This question is asked about twice a week. There are answers.
3. This is linked in the guides that are stickied. Here for example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=955719
Google is your friend too: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=site:forum.xda-developers.com+"Nexus+S"+guide+ "back+to+stock"
4. There are stickied guides.
5. That depends on what you want to do, but I do remember seeing a seeing a thread about it. maybe in the android general section.
So one question from me: What did you read?
You show that you have no interest in getting answers for yourself, but expect others to take you by the hand.
thanks for helping
sry if was rude
i had read lots of thread and searched google lyk hell from 2-3 days i dint get perfect answers for what i wanted thats y i asked here ;(
Most of these questions can be found in the Nexus S forum. It also helps to give details on yer Nexus model and yer carrier when asking for help. Some tweaks only work on certain models. The infamous signal question, well maybe you have a model that allows you to hack it. I don't so I'm still looking. Have fun, and remember to say Please and Thank You. That helps alot when your trying to get help .

New to android and rooting would like advice/info

Hello I am new to android I have had my HTC Incredible S for about 2 months and I have been reading on here for a while off and on about rooting and flashing custom roms onto my phone the only thing is is that from what I have read multiple things like that my phone can get bricked and be useless and it is also difficult to root the incredible s as well, I am just asking for people to tell me how likely I am to brick my phone and hopefully maybe some people could talk to me about flashing custom roms onto my phone and possibly link me some websites or possibly a video to show how to do this to my phone.
I would start here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980497
Also try searching here - http://www.google.com/cse?q=android...=ISO-8859-1#gsc.tab=0&gsc.q=incredible s root
But next time I would suggest going to the specific forum for that device and, after reading through the sticky/roll up threads, ask the question there.

Thanks for the reply I wasn't totally sure where to post this thread so I posted just tried the general forum I will look there and maybe post there if I don't find what I'm looking for

Availability of Official Firmwares for Atrix 2

I search the entire threads for Atrix 2 and i could not find something related to my inquiry so i decide to make a new thread (hope no problems will cause)
some of the old members they might know the problem i face very recently with my Atrix2 (yesterday because i was messing arround and trying to flash the Razr Rom into the Atrix ----Complete NooB), so i have a simple inquiry and i will appreciate it deeply if i could get a support on that.
i would like to know how many Signed Official Firmwares are Available for the Atrix2
as of now i manage to get the Chinese version(complete useless) and the US ATT version (best option but locked for ATT users only)
if in case something more is available can i request please to be uploaded it somewhere in here
i am not interested on customs Rom since the phone it self is very beautiful inside and outside.
Maybe this thread will be useful for other Atrix2 user too who might facing similar problems with me ( soft brick )
Thanks
George
This is posted in the wrong area, this belongs in the general section. This is also technically a duplicate post as MANY have asked this same question about official firmware, no matter which version.
MODs please move this to the general section.

Yes; anything that is development related, actual "hacks", ROMs, rooting, bootloader unlocks, etc. Go in the development section of the Atrix 2 forum, and and any questions, and requests and general talk of of things not really development related belong in the general section.
It might be a good idea to read the noob thread, and the rules.

Nope, but you might PM daywalker04, he is who got us our US version fxz. He will ask you to retrieve several files off your phone and install an upgrade program, that will give him a log file of what to look for.

[Q] 3.18 Root Please Help

Hi guys, i just made an account with this website and may i say that this site is huge and full of amazing knowledge. I have been reading up on how to root my HTC One X AT&T version for about an hour now. The thing is i cannot for the life of me find a Step- by -Step procedure that thoroughly explains the process. If anyone here would please show me a link to one i would GREATLY appreciate it. I'm sorry about starting a new thread but i really cannot find an extensive write-up.
Thanks for the help. :good:
First off, this should be in the q&a section, not general. Secondly, the root method can be found in this very section you posted in, so you must not have looked very hard.

Sorry man. The thing is like i said, this will be my first time doing this. I've done jailbreaks but never a root on an android. Thus i need a Step -by- Step link which i could not for the life of me find. All i find are things like: 1. Do this on boot loader 2. Install this. 3. You're done
You should have a look at this thread, it's a resource thread so it has links to many useful topics. You should also Google something like adb/fastboot for beginners, you'll definitely need that.
If I have any advice to give, it is to read, read, and read some more. Knowledge is your friend. Jumping into something like this head first without having a working knowledge is very dangerous and could lead to you bricking your phone, and we don't want that.
Also, stay on XDA, don't get information from anywhere else. Other sites don't properly distinguish between our model (Evita) and the international One X (Endeavoru).

Yes an other noob questions

...
If your phone model isn't listed as an option, don't install that ROM. It will be the end of your phone. If you visit the Skyrocket Q&A forum and the dev forum for, well, any phone, there are loads of tutorials on how to flash safely. Please read them first and follow their instructions, along with the ROM instructions, or brick.
Unless you want to prove how 1337 you are. Then, by all means, install the ROM and prove us wrong.

Yea definitely seems like a better idea to follow the instructions for the specif ROM. Any recommendations on one? not looking for anything fancy just wanna get rid of the stock one and because for some reason my phone is currently on version 2.3.5 and i am not being able to install anything from the marketplace. so any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Read the Skyrocket dev forum and decide for yourself. Recommending a ROM would be an insult to all the other devs who've put time, effort and sometimes money into designing their own.
im sorry i am just going nuts now with all the stuff ive been reading and i think i gotta take some steps back to make sure i got everything right.
i have clockworkmod 5. something and from what i was able to read i need the to update to the most resent version. So i found a copy of 6.0.4.5 but i am unsure on how to update it. Tried to put it in my sd and run it by booting into clockwormod recovery and installing the zip. it says it installed successfully but it is still in version 5.
Any help with the would be much appreciated

Seriously, dude, they're at the top of the page in the Skyrocket Q&A forum. I know you're new and I'll avoid verbally thrashing you, but if you don't learn to search (or, at a bare minimum, read the stickies), you're going to hate it here.
